Re-potting in flower ?

[Keenas]

Hi,

 

I have a plant that is 3-5 weeks into flower outdoors. It is just a general bush strain that I found in a bag, nothing special I don't think. Anyway, I wanted to keep it small to be in the stealth side, I have succeeded and she is very healthy and well cared for. 

 

The thing is, she is in a 200mm pot currently and I am starting to think she might be root bound or very close to it. I feel to maximize yield I might was to up the pot size slightly. I am worried about stunting it given she is flowering and healthy and looks really happy.

 

Also should I just go for a standard soil medium from bunnings that I have been using ?

 

Currently feeding with powerfeed to vegies and supplementing with potash for potassium. Rounded out with a dose to Seasol from time to time. 

 

Can anyone share experience with re-potting during start of flower ? Should I just be really gentle and all will be OK ?

I'd need to see the plant and it's pot to say whether it needs potting up... any chance of a pic?

Not right now, but she is in one of these  http://www.bunnings.com.au/homeleisure-reko-200mm-growers-plastic-pot-black_p2945612  Edited February 26, 2015 by Keenas

Go for it man, seasol for stress transplants once completed, be gentle.  Did 3 of my mates females for him this week which are 4 foot tall, well into flower with 1.5" buds all round, plants are looking better than ever and have grown considerably in the last 3 days than the week prior.

Do it man. Those pots are tiny, at this stage of their life I would def say they are pot bound I took advice from others who said pot up and it was the best thing for my girl. Go to a 430 mm pot youll be glad you did

Cheers. Will get on it.

I re-potting from 410mm to 990mm pot about 3 weeks ago with no hassle. If the pot is root bound this will actually help the transplant as the root ball will stay together. It was far simpler than I thought it would be and its the best thing I have done for her. She is looking great now. If she is pot bound then do it...my girl was maybe 2 weeks into flowering when I did it. I posted a thread a few weeks ago about this and I received a blow by blow description of how to actually do it. I will try and find the thread for you and put the link up if your interested? Best of luck
